Printable Counterbore FeatureScript

This is my first time trying out creating a FeatureScript. It's all vibe-coded but works pretty well after some tweaks. It takes ideas from https://www.baysingersadditivemanufacturing.com/design-floating-holes/ and https://blog.rahix.de/design-for-3d-printing/ for how to modify counterbore holes to better handle floating bridges when printed upside-down.

    Thanks for sharing it! I've used this bridging trick quite a number of times and it's very useful. great to have it automated!

    Nice feature! I hate to be that guy, but a feature for this already existed from @imants_smidchens. Still, yours might suit you better, and more importantly, you're better at making your own features now.

    Well that is great! I had searched and came up empty. I'll give that existing one a check!
